UPDATE: well guys, we can quite guessing...and remember, this is a newly rebuilt engine, never fired!

While I was traveling the last few days my nephew, a full time mechanic, pulled what was left of the engine out of the car. Problem is #2 rod bearing spun.

...its a shame but the PO HAD to have spun the engine and did the damage as it was stuck before I got it.

...plan is to pull the other rods and mains and take the crank to Spartan Crank who use to do work for my brother. I'll let him tell me what he can do to save it. I'll go from there. I'm hoping that besides him doing a little work that all I'll need is one rod bearing that is .020 over.

I'll let you know how we do but it'll be a few days. I just got home and I'm tired. Whew.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
